MPS from the center-right Civic Democrat and TOP09 parties have filed a joint complaint with the Constitutional Court against an amendment to the air pollution law which enables local authorities to check what households are burning in their stoves. The law is to put off people burning waste, such as PET bottles, which significantly contributes to air pollution in many Czech towns and villages. While environment activists have welcomed the move, right-wing parties claim it violates individual freedom and is an invasion into people's privacy. They particularly oppose the fact that the authorities can enter people's homes without a legal warrant from a court.
The signatories of the Charter 77 human rights manifesto have asked the Czech government to speak out in support of human rights in China. The appeal was made in an open letter to Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka shortly after he proclaimed that he and his government stood up for the values that Charter 77 defended. The road to democracy would have been much more difficult without the courageous stances, persistent effort as well as the suffering of Charter 77 signatories, Mr. Sobotka said on the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Charter 77 manifesto earlier this month. Over 160 of the original signatories have now asked the prime minister to follow up his words with actions, and come out in defence of human right in China.
A wax figurine of America's 45th president, Donald Trump, has been unveiled at Prague's Grévin Wax Museum. The figure is reported to be the third biggest on show –following that of the Golem and French actor Gerard Depardieu. It was made, with the help of a double, by sculptor Eric Saint Chaffray at Grévin's Paris studios.
The US Ambassador to Prague, Mr. Andrew Schapiro, is leaving office on Friday. Ambassador Schapiro, who is not a career diplomat, was appointed to the post by the outgoing US president Barack Obama. He has served in the post since September 2014. Czech Foreign Minister Lubomir Zaoralek recently said he feared that it might take some time to find a replacement. There has been speculation that the incoming US president Donald Trump's Czech-born ex-wife Ivana has expressed an interest in the position.
President Zeman's open support for the incoming US president Donald Trump, could smooth early interaction with the Trump administration, President Zeman's chief foreign policy advisor, and the man slated to be the next Czech ambassador to the US, Hynek Kmoníček, told Radio Prague. Mr. Kmoníček said he expected a strong focus on domestic policy from the new US administration and and predicted unexpected moves from the incoming US president who as a self-made man was used to making his own decisions and was not likely to pay great heed to advisers. Czech President Milos Zeman, who openly supported Donald Trump during his election campaign, has received an invitation to the White House in April.
Employers have criticized Interior Minister Milan Chovanec for advocating a tough line with foreign workers who violate the law. In an interview for the daily Pravo, the minister said a foreign worker who violated the law should be sacked on the spot and should be banned from working in the country thereafter. Marketa Schormova, a legal expert for the Czech Business Chamber says this practice would be in violation of the Labor Code, since employers can only fire an employee who has been found guilty of intentionally breaking the law. Minister Chovanec based his proposal on statistics that suggest a growing number of foreign workers, predominantly from Poland and Ukraine, had in recent months committed petty crime or broken the law in some way. The Czech Business Chamber has stressed the country badly needs foreign workers and their lack could be a brake for future economic growth.
The Czech telecommunications regulator CTU has warned operators Vodafone and O2 to cut wholesale prices for mobile internet services charged to virtual operators or risk losing their license. The regulator said a condition of the auction at which they acquired the licenses was to set wholesale prices that would allow virtual operators to operate profitably. CTU has given Vodafone and O2 a month in which to comply before it starts proceedings to strip them of their licenses.
The Czech Foreign Ministry has advised Czech nationals in Gambia to leave the country as fast as possible due to the highly volatile situation in the country in the wake of presidential elections. Czechs planning to travel to the country have been advised to postpone their journey. A state of emergency is currently in force in the country. Czechs in trouble have been advised to contact the Czech honorary consulate in Banjul.
Meteorologists have declared a smog alert in Prague and seven other regions of the Czech Republic, where more than double the permissible limit for airborne dust particles have been recorded. People with chronic lung-related problems and heart condition as well as elderly people and children have been recommended to limit outdoor physical activities. Authorities in Prague have also appealed to drivers to curb their travels, one of the major factors behind the increased pollution levels. If the situation worsens, they are ready to ask the biggest polluters to temporarily scale down production.

Here's a novel concept: an ad company that doesn't load you down with rules and restrictions, allows you to control your own placements, and pays out twice per month.
If there's one thing web surfers hate, it's being bombarded by flashing "Warning" ads from every corner of a web page. This is why our service is based around links that you control. With Linkbucks, you get paid to link to whatever you want.
Because of the way most ad networks are set up, sites are encouraged to annoy their loyal visitors in order to earn their money. Linkbucks changes that by monetizing your outbound traffic instead. Now you can earn money by linking to the site you would anyway.
Our relationships with leading marketers enable us to pay rates above and beyond the industry standard. Also, unlike most ad companies that only pay out every few months, we send your money on demand!
We're willing to work closely with you to help keep monetize your site. We have custom programs for forums and blogs.

Some more thoughts… The Book Thief by Mark Zusak, Alfred A Knopf New York 2007 (imprint of Random House Children's Books). Originally published in Australia 2005 by Picador, an imprint of Pan Macmillan Pty Ltd, Sydney; 550 pages.
Since this is a re-read and not even one that I had picked for the Re-Reading / Flashback Challenge but one that I picked up again because my IRL bookclub chose it for this month's selection, and now having rambled into some kind of extensive sentence of which I cannot seem to grasp a good way to wrap up, may I point you to my original review thoughts post on the first time I read this awesome book? From eleven months ago…
I STILL love this book.
I have not been the kind of person that re-reads books. This was partly due to my being much more motivated to read new-to-me books — all those classics that I've always thought I *should* read or hot new titles that beckon with pushy enthusiasm. I never read for "comfort." I hate to know what is going to happen.
But then I re-read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I had always adored my first-read experience with CS Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia and I wanted it fresh in my mind when the movie came out.
I was so disappointed. I can't remember what exactly I was disappointed by but do know that it had lost its magic. I was then shattered and so sad. I felt that I had RUINED my memory of the joy of discovering the world of Narnia. I vowed never to re-read a book again.
Until I decided that such a stance was silly.
And along came this year's re-read challenge and I thought I would try the concept again.
AND… The Book Thief. I still think it is full of awesomeness. And I bawled my eyes out.
[from early in the book, page 80:]
She was the book thief without the words.
Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like the rain.
[updated about five minutes after posting this post to add that I'm just now reading Zusak's thoughts at the end of the book and I'm crying again!]

After extensive deliberation, the Prix Net Art jury—comprising curators Michael Connor, Samantha Culp, Zhang Ga, and Sabine Himmelsbach—is proud to announce that inaugural $10,000 Prix Net Art is awarded to artist duo JODI, with a $5,000 Award of Distinction granted to Kari Altmann. For detailed information about Prix Net Art, visit prixnetart.org.
Jury Statement:
The internet is more than just a canvas, medium, or publishing platform for art. The internet is a system that links human and machine intelligence to produce politics, economics, culture, and subjectivities. To make "internet art" is to intervene in, or participate mindfully in, these processes.

When this happens, the standard treatment is to give high doses of steroids through an IV line for 3 consecutive days. Generally it's done either with home health going to the patient's house to do the infusions, or the patient goes to an outpatient infusion center each day for 3 days to have it done there.
So I got Annie on it fast. Miracle worker that she is, she found both a nursing service and an outpatient infusion center that could do this over the weekend, giving me both options. Then she called the patient's insurance to get approval for one or the other.
Guess what? Mike's insurance company didn't have a supervisor available to authorize either one of these on a Friday afternoon. And the underling Annie spoke to (and then I got on the phone to argue with them) told me she wasn't allowed to give approval for this, and there was no one else around who could. So what did she suggest? She told me to admit Mike to the hospital over the weekend to do this, since that didn't require pre-authorization!
So let's think about this:
Home health OR an outpatient infusion suite would cost roughly $200-$400 per day (including nurse time, supplies, and drug) for 3 days.
BUT since Bozo Insurance, Inc. didn't have some magical person around on a Friday (which is a workday last time I checked) or anyone else who could approve this, they told me to admit Mike to the hospital.
I called a friend in hospital accounting. The rate for the basic room Mike is now in is roughly $1800/day. This does NOT include the costs of drug, supplies, or physician fees for docs having to round on him (since we're required to). All together, the hospital stay will cost the insurance $2500-$3000 per day for 3 days.
And Mike is pissed, too. Because he'd rather be at home.
And this is where your insurance premium dollars are going, and how your insurance company is working hard to cut back on costs and save you money.

Say Yes to the Prom: Monte Durham helps teens find their dream dresses
Brides all across the country dream of having their "yes" moment with TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta" image consultant Monte Durham. The perfect combination of opinionated and nurturing, he somehow manages to put even the most neurotic of brides at ease before jacking them up (adding the veil and finishing touches) and making their dreams come true.
Tuesday, Durham will donate his skills to a cause close to his heart at the second annual Say Yes to the Prom, an event put together by TLC and Discovery Communications to give about 40 underprivileged teens from Magruder High School in Rockville, Md., and charitable organization KidsPeace the star treatment.
"When you're a young girl looking for a prom dress, that's the most important dress you'll have until you get your wedding dress," Durham told Newsday. "It's the first time you're really stepping out dressed up as a woman."
Each girl will be paired with a personal shopper and will have Durham's personal input as they choose from a dream closet of more than 700 gowns donated by Discovery and Women in Cable Telecommunications. Unused dresses will go to other girls in need through DonateMyDress.org.
"I can relate to these girls trying to get dressed up all fancy when the means just aren't there for you," said Durham, who came from a less than wealthy family "in the hills of West Virginia."
The girls will be fully accessorized and will enjoy makeovers from professional hair stylists and nail and makeup artists. At the end of the day, they will show off their prom-ready looks in a fashion show with 2,000 employees cheering them on and Durham waiting at the end of the runway with a gift.
"It's most exciting to watch the transition and the appreciation in their eyes," Durham says of seeing the girls get all glammed up for the catwalk. But how do they know when they've found the right dress?
Sometimes it takes a process of elimination, or shedding romantic fantasies and realizing that the ball gown you've been dreaming of just isn't the best for your figure, Durham says. But when the right dress is put on, he believes every girl (or woman) knows it.
"It's an interesting thing, prom or bridal," he says. "Deep down you do know. It's very obvious. . . they'll start twirling, dancing, swishing, giggling. . . most of the time it's the smile that seals the deal."
Durham expects beading, sparkle, bold colors, sweetheart necklines and softer fabrics like jersey knits, chiffon and organza to rule prom this year, taking a cue from the Oscars red carpet.
But the most important thing, he says, is fit.
"What absolutely drives me crazy is a bad fit and not properly supported undergarments," he says. "Young girls are so naturally beautiful, they don't need much makeup. But they have to make sure that dress fits."
Durham acknowledges that prom can be a lot of pressure for young girls, but he encourages them not to give up on finding the right dress. When stuck in a rut, he advises stepping away and finding an amazing pair of shoes or a great makeup color scheme to work around.
"Maybe you'll find a coral lipstick you love and then you might not want a black dress, or you'll decide you want to wear your hair to the side and will rule out one-shouldered dresses. It will just give you a fresh perspective."
Good advice for sure, but we're guessing all of the 40 girls working with Durham will feel more than confident in their choices come prom night.

iOS users who pirate apps, here is some bad news for you. Hackulous is shutting down! Hackulous has acted as a gateway for all jailbroken iOS devices to install pirated apps on their devices using Installous or AppSync.
The reason behind the shut down according to the Hackulous team is the lack of activity on their forums. Below is their official statement -:
Goodnight, sweet prince.
We are very sad to announce that Hackulous is shutting down. After many years, our community has become stagnant and our forums are a bit of a ghost town. It has become difficult to keep them online and well-moderated, despite the devotion of our staff. We're incredibly thankful for the support we've had over the years and hope that new, greater communities blossom out of our absence.
With lots of love,
Hackulous Team
While the death of Hackulous does not mean that iOS piracy is dead, it will definitely help in reducing piracy. Keep in mind that Hackulous itself did not host pirated iOS apps. Instead, it had in its repos two of the most popular and easiest way of installing pirated apps on iOS – Installous and AppSync. Since Hackulous repo is already down, there is no way to install Installous or AppSync for now.
It is just a matter of time and some work from developers before Installous or AppSync once again make an appearance on jailbroken iOS devices.

"The Bad Boy: Always more fun," Yaariyan star Vikas Verma plays the negative lead in Kirpaan, the Sword of Honou
Published on February 4, 2014
DUBAI, UAE : Hilton Worldwide today announced the official opening of the 265-room Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort, formerly known as Al Hamra Fort & Beach Resort, following an extensive two-year refurbishment.
With direct access to an 18-hole championship golf course and with stunning views of the Arabian Gulf and nearby Hajar Mountains, Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort features an inspired mix of 181 villas and suites, 75 deluxe guest rooms and nine luxurious suites. Regarded as a landmark hotel in the prestigious Al Hamra district of Ras Al Khaimah, the comprehensive conversion of the property has thoughtgully preserved the unique identity of the buildings, originally designed to reflect the ancient Arabic forts which still speckle the local landscape.
Rob Palleschi, global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts said: "The striking fortress-style design and iconic status of the original hotel helped shape our conversion plans. We have carefully maintained the distinctive character of the property and successfully combined those traditional qualities with the modern hallmark attributes of Hilton Worldwide's flagship brand. Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort is now a world-class hotel and a welcome addition to the Hilton Hotels & Resorts global portfolio."
Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort features a wealth of quality amenities including two temperature controlled pools, a children's club, spa treatment rooms and a 500-metre private beach. In addition to golf, active guests can enjoy a game of tennis, select from a wide range of water sports or opt for a work out in the hotel's on-site fitness centre. A comprehensive menu of eight dining and entertainment options will feature a wide range of international delicacies and regional specialties as well as specialist favourites, such as the upcoming Mai Tai bar, with its Polynesian inspired cuisines and Club Malibu, offering an exclusive club vibe with live DJ.
With an adjoining newly revamped 800-capacity convention centre boasting state-of-the-art amenities and a one-stop professional advice shop, Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort is destined to become a leading choice for planners seeking the very best in facilities and service for conferences, meetings and events.
Rudi Jagersbacher, president, Hilton Worldwide Middle East & Africa said: "Hilton Worldwide has enjoyed a presence in Ras Al Khaimah for over 12 years and that longevity with the Emirate and the close relationship we enjoy with the owners of Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort, has served us well in establishing a strong and growing portfolio. Today's opening introduces our sixth hotel to Ras Al Khaimah and will provide impetus and choice to international travellers, MICE visitors and local weekend guests to visit this increasingly popular destination."

You are correct, I made the bad assumption that when the service buttons were disabled, the services did not already exist on the system. I will add the missing checks in the next iteration of the control panel but that work around will be fine in the meantime.
In regard to the privileges stuff in most cases, I think it will just bring up the UAC dialog or equivalent if it needs it. I do not know about any specific cases where it will crash yet if lacking those privileges.At the same time, I do not want to force Admin by other means because some people may not require Services and need it/be able to get it.

glad to be here thanks for all
Hello, my name is Amara and I live in Michigan. I found this website by accident, but I am really looking forward to joining a community of digital scrappers like myself. I am a freelance graphic designer (print and digital) and I am in a country/rock band as a lead singer. I love all things artsy and I can't wait to "catch up" on al my scrapbooks
Okay, after a (too short night) let´s start here to say HELLO!
I am Melly, a nearly 40-years-old mom of three awesome children (19, 16, 13), married with the best hubby alive (1994) and the chief of a little crowd of pets! I love it to photograph all my dears and the nature, and yes: I love it to scrap my photos for photobooks and to show them here.
I started to do graphics around 2002 with Paint Shop Pro 7: in the beginning only little frames. But it grows and so I did blends and signs and animations. A long time I wrote tutorials for PSP X and was the leader of a psp school in the web.
I learned to use Poser too, and a little bit of Bryce - but I came back to work with my own stuff. I got Photoshop of a friend for a really low price and now I am only a scrapper of live.
If there is enough time after family (incl. the pets), working (at a laundry until the end of the year) and photographing/scrapping I need good music to feel good, love it to read and to spend time in my garden and the nature!
Uh - okay, now it´s enough about me...
Hi dear all,
I'm Liz from Hungary. I'm married and a proud mother of a little girl. I've been working as graphic designer and desktop publisher for several years. I've been artistic all my life and always enjoyed crafts. I cannot tell how much hobby I have! What I love most of all: portrait drawing about my favorite actors and musicians (I'm extremely fan type!), jewellery making and product designing (I'm shopkeeper at Zazzle).
I discovered this site when searching for ideas to make a handmade thank you card for my daughter's friend, but I'm not really a scrapper, I use this site mainly for inspiration.
My Name is Carolyn. I have been married many years to a wonderful man. We have are own Mechanic, Body & Paint buisness.
I live in Alabama. I was Born In Germany. My father was in the Airforce. Retired after 22 years.
Both my Parents have Passed on.
In my Spare time I like to create and make Name tags using Alphas and what every else I can find.
I to found this site by accident and just IT!!!!
I am Female however my Icon of Spock is because I love Star Trek and his favorite saying live long and prosper Also

Hello Carolyn! It's always pleasure to meet a fellow Spock fan! I also love Star Trek, I made a lot of portraits about them (http://araen.deviantart.com/gallery/)

@Pat have fun scanning all of those photos! A couple years ago I did the same thing. I even took all of my photo books and scanned all of those photos! I decided to go completely digital and I am having so much fun! When my Mom died five years ago, I got all of her photos and scanned them...still trying to sort all of them but I must say they are so much fun to digi scrap!
Forge ahead, you will reach the end...I know because I did it! When you are done you will see exactly how many photos you actually have...tons!!!!
Welcome everyone! Thanks for stopping by!
I'm Rebecca from Idaho. I just found Pixel Scrapper. I'm so glad to find paper, flower, buttons, bunting, and stitches templates. Sometimes when I am using a kit, I want to add something it doesn't have like a bunting or a striped paper. I have plenty of assets but it's pain to recolor and get it to match the kit colors.
I've been digital scrapbooking for 6 years now. I learned Photoshop in High School so I know enough to get in trouble I'm so glad digital scrapbooking exists. I scrapbooked before and it made such a mess and you couldn't redo things if you didn't like it. Also I can make as many copies as I want of a page. My kids were adopted at birth and I give their birthparents a copy to put in their 8x8 scrapbooks I gave them.
Well, that's about it.
My name is Megan and I currently live in Louisiana. I'm in the Army and stationed at Fort Polk. But I am getting medically retired soon and will be returning home to West Virginia. I have a degree in fashion design but recently decided that I want to go into Graphic Design so now I am a student at the Art Institute. I sell party invitations on Etsy and will be expanding my business soon. I also am working on starting a blog to promote my shop and offer freebies! Love this site!
Welcome Rebecca, Megan and everyone else! Have fun!
Hi, my name is Tania, I live in Central Florida and love everything the area has to offer. I'm married without children but we have plenty of nieces and nephews to keep me on my toes. I've been paper scrapping since 1999 and digi-scrapping since 2007, occasionally I do hybrid projects, cards, and altered crafts as well.
I've been admiring the assets on this site for a while now, and became a subscriber a few months ago, but I think this might be my first venture into the forums.
Hi, my name is Virginia, I have been visiting this site for over a year and really enjoy the tutorials plus all the great products. I am a grandmother of 4 three of which are boys 4, and twins 5. One beautiful granddaughter 8, who is inspiring to be a dancer. I love scrapping their little adventures, but I love this site cause I can pick and choose and make my own elements from the CU use items.
Hello, I'm Meta and I live in the Netherlands. I'm a digiscrapper since 7 or 8 years. I've created lots of albums, for both of my kids a yearbook for each year since 2005 and lots of others. I'm also doing the P365 project, last year was the third time. I'm not doing it every year, but every other year. My kids are 11 and 12 years old, I work four days a week and I'm very busy
Hi my name is Pat, I am retired, we have 6 children, 15 grandchildren and now 5 Great Grandchildren. When I retired I took up sewing and machine embroidery. In the last few months I have been introduced to scrap-booking and card-making. I love the idea of paper scrap-booking, but the idea of doing it all on computer (without taking up all the space and having to put all the goodies back each time you use them) really appeals to me. Although I have had a few card-making sessions with grandchildren and we have all had a ball.
I have started to put my photos onto the computer (what a job) and hope to make up scrap-book pages for all of the children and to document family history and just have fun. I found this website by accident and I am pleased that I did.
Good time of day! My name is Svetlana. I live in Russia, on the banks of the river Volga married, I have two daughters - 29 and 21 years. To photograph the beginning, when the eldest daughter gave birth to our grandson. When the children were small, we have not had the camera, now the children are grown, I will remove grandchildren and make photo books. Your site is very nice to me and I hope make friends with You. English language I do not know, and so I use the translator, Yandex.

My name is Chrissie and I stumbled across Pixel Scrapper this past week and was very interested to get involved in your community. I am married with 3 beautiful children, ages 11, 6 and 2 and live in the Big Sky State of Montana.
I was introduced to traditional scrapbooking (Creative Memories) in my early twenties and was immediately hooked on the "ideal" of the whole hobby. Unfortunately my time didn't always allow for me to scrap like I wanted. Although, I did manage to continuously buy paper, embellishments, tools, punches, pens, cutters, yada-yada-yada. I have the most unused, but hugely organized scrapbooking supply collection of anyone I know. <sigh>
Many years ago I was invited to another Creative Memories Party that was focused on Digital Scrapbooking and I thought this would be the hot ticket. So, just like Traditional, I bought the stuff....Memory Manger for Photo Management and Storybook for the Digital Layouts. It was the first releases of the software by CM. I dabbled in both for a couple years, but never really got engaged in it until about 1 year ago when Creative Memories announced they were going out of business. Suddenly I was in a panic. What to do about my investment in all these "kits" and the software. I started looking online for answers and low and behold there were THOUSANDS of websites and groups and blogs all about Scrapbooking.
Stupid me, I had been living in this Creative Memories bubble, only buying the Paper & Embellishment kits that they offered. I knew that I could import individual images into the software as Personal items, but I never in a million years stopped to look and see if there were any other sites out there selling content. So I was in Hog-Heaven when I started discovering all the amazing free and purchasable content that is available. Now its a bit of an addiction for me. I'm still struggling to produce the amount of pages I'd like, right now downloading content all the time for "future use" is the most addicting part.
I love this hobby and all the potential that comes with it. I'm now using Artisan and Historian (which replaced the Creative Memories products but are virtually the same thing).
Looking forward to spending time in the forums!
Hello all! My name is Linda and I am the mom to two teenagers. I've been scrapbooking forever - at least 20 years. I resisted digital scrapbooking for a long time - I thought I would miss working with real paper and creating something with my hands. Finally tried digital scrapbooking about 5 years ago and never looked back. Haven't missed paper scrapping at all!
Welcome everyone! So many new faces! Thanks for saying hello!
Hi all I've been lurking for quite some time!! I live in Hampshire UK and enjoy scrapping, both digital and paper, cardmaking, knitting, cross stitch (although not so much now as eyes not as good as they were!) gardening and reading. Good job I'm retired or I wouldn't fit it all in.
Welcome Sue! Thanks for saying hello!
My name is Valeria (Susana is my second one) I am from Argentina, graphic designer and fine artist. I´m already 43 (can´t believe it!!), and with my partner just had a precious boy who´s now 1 year old. Life had change completely, filled with smiles, laughs and more love!
I´m passionate about making mini albums and photography.
Thanks' Marisa so much for sharing all this stuff!
Hi Everyone! I am just staring with Digital Scrapbooking. I know. I know. I was a holdout! I am having a blast. I am used to PhotoShop for work but I purchased PSE 12 for scrapbooking. Oh the things that you can do digitally!
I look forward to chatting with everyone.
Hi. My name is Mari-Liis, I'm 30 and I live in Estonia on little island with little less than 10 000 people. I am new in here and in Scrapbooking generally. I am "work-at-home" mother of two kids and I design knits and make patterns.
I have always been creative and visual person, but little bit shy. Sorry about that
I found this site little less than month ago and love it. I have felt that digital scrapbooking is hard, but as I learn and try new things, I am loving every minute of it.
As some others said before me - I am using Google translate + foggy memories of English grammar from school. I hope I'm understandable.
And to finish off - hello again for everyone.
Hello! I am Angela, a photographer, and live in upstate NY. I'm new at digital scrapbooking and still enjoy paper scrapbooking. I'm very proficient in Photoshop and it's finding time to digital scrapbook that's my challenge. I stumbled across pixelscrapper during a blog train and have been hooked since....I'm almost at the point of needing an intervention! I find your site and creative members so inspiring. I have to give a shout out to all of the digital designers out there....as their talent of creative and artistic expression of their ideas & designs is truly magnificent, and I appreciate not just what they share, but also the time and energy they put into what they do.
Thank you Marisa for doing what you do and sharing this amazing resource for all of us to enjoy!
Welcome! Thanks for saying hello!

Mile-High Beer BarsMarch 1, 2004 - Paul Ruschmann
Thirty years ago, I made my first trip to Denver.

Stray bullet: Glenmore woman shot while gardening
The Glenmore subdivision website touts the "simple joys of Southern living." In some quarters, shooting guns is such a joy, but that's one aspect of Southern life Justine Joscelyne never considered she'd encounter in the gated community east of Charlottesville.
It happened on Sunday evening around dusk.
"I was in the backyard watering my plants and felt this intense pain," says Joscelyne of the August 29 incident. "It was a shock. The bullet went through my right breast."
Joscelyne, 61, says because of the way she was standing, the bullet didn't damage internal organs–- but left her with both an entrance and exit wound.
"I'd been out in my yard about 40 minutes," she says. "I'd heard popping sounds and thought it was fireworks. I'm certain it was outside Glenmore."
Joscelyne's husband, Trevor, who is president of the Glenmore Community Association, took her from their Darby Road residence to the UVA Medical Center, where she was treated for non-life threatening injuries and released.
Police are investigating the shooting, according to a release, are examining "all possible scenarios." A follow-up call to Albemarle police spokesman Lieutenant Shawn Schwertfeger did not reveal additional details, but Justine Joscelyne is convinced her wound came from target shooting.
"I would like people to do their target practice a long way from residences," she urges. "Police say they cannot recall an incident of people being hit by stray bullets. I think I was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Actually, some veteran officers may recall the November 29, 1997, death of Janice Garrison. While standing in her Stony Point backyard, she was struck and killed by what appeared to be a high-powered rifle bullet. Police charged an Albemarle man with a firearms violation, but decided they didn't have sufficient evidence to charge him with Garrison's death.
Interviewed around noon after her Sunday night trauma, Justine Joscelyne says she's not fearful about going out in the yard again to water her nandinas.
"I'm feeling surprisingly all right," she says. "Life goes on."

Yes, it's so hilarious to bash gated communities, but this did not happen "in Glenmore." Rather, some of Virginia's finest residents, at least one with less-than-accurate aim, were doing target practice at a nearby Richmond Road property. This shooting could just have easily been in any Hook's poster's backyard or neighborhood, with much more serious, even fatal, results. Why haven't charges been filed?
Yeah, while the lawmakers made some improvement in the restaurant scene, they still don't have it as fine tuned as it should be. I would like to see any gun toting person consuming alcohol in a restaurant have to do so with a concealed weapon. And it's a slap in the face to fine law abiding citizens for the lawmakers to make it legal for cops and retired cops to drink alcohol while concealing a weapon, how are they any more special than ordinary citizens? Reminds me of the off-duty drunk Chicago cop who went berserk and beat a female bartender half to death not long ago. He exercised "good judgement" while consuming alcohol and carrying a concealed weapon? I think not.
What game? and how has it changed?
Once they find the shooter, they ought to inflict a similar injury on him/her.
Hum........she is convinced, but no one else is.
This should be easily cleared up, as to the target practice theory. Is there any location, within the distance possible to have hit her, where one could target practice ? I thought these were large lots in a gated community. How far can a bullet travel ?
The game done CHANGED.
Isn't there a police shooting range just across the Rivanna River from Glenmore on the site of what used to be the UVA Airport? Hmmmmm.
Shizzat happens!! Not good for gardeners or target shooters! I'm glad she is OK!!!!
just_sayin has a great point, local police do use the old air strip on Milton Rd for practice, and it is very close to Glenmore. If the victim heard the shooting but it sounded like firecrackers, then I'd say sub-sonic rounds, ruling out most rifle ammo. I'd guess they could tell from the entry and exit wounds what caliber of round was used, maybe with a small margin for error? Or just take a metal detector to her yard and find the spent round. Be ironic if she'd called 911 and the same officers who showed up [a little too quickly?] had been target shooting in the immediate area.
I'm sure she would have been eligible for a "concealed" carry permit. If she had been armed she could have tracked her attempted assassin and made her own justice.
More Guns = More Better.
Gas Baggage, if the shooter had come onto her property and was attempting to abduct and rape her and her daughter, a concealed weapon would have been a handy thing to have. But as we all know, you don't have to have a concealed weapons permit in Virginia, you can openly carry a firearm just about anywhere.
garden and gun
In reference to how far a bullet can travel, and from the infamous Internet of course... a few examples:
.22 Long Rifle (40 gr RN)
Muzzle Velocity 1255 ft/s
Maximum Range 2000 yard, 1.14 mile
Impact Velocity 300 ft/s
.223 Remington (55 gr SP BT)
Muzzle Velocity 3240 ft/s
Maximum Range 3875 yard, 2.20 mile
Impact Velocity 545 ft/s
30-06 Springfield (180 gr SP BT)
Muzzle Velocity 2700 ft/s
Maximum Range 5675 yard, 3.22 mile
Impact Velocity 800 ft/s
9mm Luger (Parabellum) (124 gr RN)
Muzzle Velocity 1120 ft/s
Maximum Range 2400 yard, 1.36 mile
Impact Velocity 350 ft/s
45 ACP (230 gr RN)
Muzzle Velocity 850 ft/s
Maximum Range 1800 yard, 1.02 mile
Maximum Range, Impact Velocity 330 ft/s
44 Magnum (240 gr FP)
Muzzle Velocity 1760 ft/s
Maximum Range 2500 yard, 1.42 mile
Impact Velocity 350 ft/s
@Nancy Drew
Depending on the caliber of the firearm and the angle of elevation of the muzzle a bullet can travel several miles quite easily.
If you knew what goes on in Glenmore, you'd be ROTFLYAO.
This is TOO MUCH!
Gas Baggage, your points are as hollow as dum-dum bullets.
Glenmore,...welcome to da hood! What's the difference between Glenmore and Lake Monticello?? ...about twenty miles. There have been more people shot in Glenmore this year, than Friendship Court.
Gee Beev don't you think you oughta go apologize to the lady?
Gee Wally it's gettin' so a kid can't even have a decent Balkan wedding celebration.
I live off Rosehill Drive. I don't go out the door without my kevlar, and my gat.....Wouldn't happen to me.
That's actually a pretty good idea. Sure would have lowered the
level of threat in the drunk off-duty Chicago cop that went berserk.
It aint safe no mo! Homeless ben beat down n da skreet? Now my Glenmore peeps b gettin capped while tendin dey gardens?!? Im bout 2 spark dis cush rite hur n get away from da madnuss, I jus cant take dis mane....
**** Most likely came from the Ashton Road area directly behind her house.

Why is that?
A woman is almost killed at her home by firearms, and an official says, "I would like people to do their target practice a long way from residences?" Is this the bill of rights thing again?
Quote from GBSOE:
"Gas Baggage, if the shooter had come onto her property and was attempting to abduct and rape her and her daughter, a concealed weapon would have been a handy thing to have. But as we all know, you don't have to have a concealed weapons permit in Virginia, you can openly carry a firearm just about anywhere."
I agree with this, although I will point out that a Virginia citizen does NOT need a Concealed Handgun Permit to carry concealed on their own private property.
Just a FYI for anyone interested...
Open carry: Legal anywhere in Virginia for citizen over 18 that is not a felon, unless posted otherwise by property owners. Some places it's not legal are Federal Post Offices and K-12 school property. Notice it IS legal to open carry and consume alcohol in restaurants, the recent legislation only applied to CONCEALED carry, where consuming alcohol while carrying concealed is prohibited unless one is retired law enforcement. Before this recent legislation, concealed carry was prohibited in restaurants that serve alcohol.
Concealed carry: If one is not a felon, is over 21, and has proof of firearms training (hunter safety course, handgun safety course, etc), a Virginia citizen can apply and receive a Concealed Handgun Permit from the circuit court of the city or county they reside in. This permits the holder to carry a handgun(s) (not a knife or a shotgun or rifle or nuncucks or such things) in public, with the same stipulations as open carry above.
Perhaps we need legislation that demands guns be equipped with breathalyzers to be utilized before they can function.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — St. Bonaventure University alumnus and trustee Albert C. Horton, '66, and his wife, Barbara, have committed a leadership gift to St. Bonaventure University's School of Business Campaign, the university announced today. St. Bonaventure is in the midst of a $15 million campaign to construct a 26,000-square-foot building to house its School of Business.
Mr. Horton, chairman and chief executive officer of The Horton Fruit Company, credits much of his success to the education he received at St. Bonaventure.
"The discipline to work hard and succeed is something I developed at St. Bonaventure while under the tutelage of Fr. Gervase White, O.F.M., swimming coach John B. Skeehan, and Fr. Eugene Malek, O.F.M.," Mr. Horton said. "I also learned what it is to be Catholic. It is my hope that students from the Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Chicago areas will pursue a top-notch education at
St. Bonaventure."
Mr. Horton earned a bachelor of business administration degree with a major in management science from St. Bonaventure in 1966. A longtime supporter of the university, he serves on St. Bonaventure's board of trustees and is a member of the School of Business advisory board.
"I am a strong believer in St. Bonaventure's Career and Professional Readiness Center," said Mr. Horton. "It is a parent's dream for their son or daughter. With such a strong commitment to professional development, I believe that Bona's can successfully recruit students not only in the New York area, but throughout the mid-Atlantic region as well. Students seeking Catholic higher education should look no further than St. Bonaventure."
The new business center will feature high-tech classrooms, a financial services lab, a state-of-the-art boardroom, and special meeting and office spaces for student groups and faculty.
Construction will begin by June, with occupancy set for fall 2013.
"The new William E. & Ann L. Swan Business Center is a key element in our overall strategic plan," said Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., S.T.D., president of the University. "We have seen firsthand the power of new facilities on our campus, and know that investing in this building will position us to better compete for high-quality students and faculty who want to be part of a unique and distinctive scholarly environment."
The $15 million campaign will provide: $10 million for the construction of the new business center; $4 million in endowments for faculty and programmatic support to ensure a vibrant intellectual community; and $1 million for building endowment.
More than $13 million has been raised under the leadership of Robert Daugherty, '77, University trustee and campaign chair.
"We are grateful for the financial commitments that have been made to date," said Mr. Daugherty, a retired partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. "Now we need the leverage of many. We need the help of our alumni, parents and friends to make this campaign a success."
St. Bonaventure's School of Business is one of only 5 percent of business schools worldwide to hold accreditation by the Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
"We are in demand," said Carol Fischer, Ph.D., dean of the School of Business, adding that some 30 percent of St. Bonaventure's student body is composed of business majors.
"Our faculty, students and graduates have made the case for this new building," Dr. Fischer said. "They have demonstrated through academic excellence and through success in the business realm that St. Bonaventure's School of Business is world-class quality. Reaching our goal in this campaign will enable us to maintain and build upon our traditional strengths, as well as develop new strengths in our distinctive niches such as service learning."
The Horton family gift is among more than 300 commitments made to the campaign by St. Bonaventure alumni and friends.
Donations to the campaign may be made by visiting www.sbu.edu/bullishonbusiness/donate or by calling (800) 664-1273.

About the University: Inspired for more than 150 years by the Catholic Franciscan values of individual dignity, community inclusiveness, and service, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them

Raj Shah has announced his departure from USAID. Honestly, this surprises nobody at the Agency, or anyone in the development world who's been paying attention. If anything, folks are surprised he is still around – it is well-known (or at least well-gossiped) that he was looking for the door, and at any number of opportunities, at least since the spring of 2012. There are plenty of reviews of Shah's tenure posted around the web, and I will not rehash them. While I have plenty of opinions of the various initiatives that Shah oversaw/claims credit for (and these are not always the same, by the way), gauging what did and did not work under a particular administrator is usually a question for history, and it will take a bit of space and time before anyone should feel comfortable offering a full review of this administrator's work.
I will say that I hope much of what Shah pushed for under USAID Forward, especially the rebuilding of the technical capacity of USAID staff, the emphasis on local procurement, and the strengthening of evaluation, becomes entrenched at the agency. Technical capacity is critical – not because USAID is ever going to implement its own work. That would require staffing the Agency at something like three or four times current levels, and nobody is ever going to approve that. Instead, it is critical for better monitoring and evaluating the work of the Agency's implementing partners. In my time at USAID, I saw implementer work and reports that ran the gamut from "truly outstanding" to "dumpster fire". The problem is that there are many cases where work that falls on the dumpster fire end of the spectrum is accepted because Agency staff lack the technical expertise to recognize the hot mess they've been handed. This is going to be less of a problem going forward, as long as the Agency continues to staff up on the technical side.
Local procurement is huge for both the humanitarian assistance and development missions of USAID. For example, there is plenty of evidence supporting the cost/time effectiveness of procuring emergency food aid in or near regions of food crisis. Further, mandates that push more USAID funding to local organizations and implementers will create incentives to truly build local capacity to manage these funds and design/implement projects, as it will be difficult for prime contractors to meet target indicators and other goals without high-capacity local partners.
A strong evaluation policy will be huge for the Agency…if it ever really comes to pass. While I have seen real signs of Agency staff struggling with how to meaningfully evaluate the impact of their programs, the overall state of evaluation at the Agency remains in flux. The Evaluation Policy was never really implementable, for example because it seems nobody actually considered who would do the evaluations. USAID staff generally lack the time and/or expertise to conduct these evaluations, and the usual implementing partners suffer from a material conflict of interest – very often, they would have to evaluate programs and projects implemented by their competitors…even projects where they had lost the bid to a competitor. Further, the organizations I have seen/interacted with that focus on evaluation remain preoccupied with quantitative approaches to evaluation that, while perhaps drawing on Shah's interest in the now-fading RCT craze in development, really cannot identify or measure the sorts of causal processes that connect development interventions and outcomes. Finally, despite the nice words to the contrary, the culture at USAID remains intolerant of project failure, and the leadership of the Agency never mounted the strong defense of this culture change to the White House or Congress needed to create the space for a new understanding of evaluation, nor did it ever really convey a message of culture change that the staff of USAID found convincing across the board. There are some groups/offices at USAID (for example, in the ever-growing Global Development Lab) where this culture is fully in bloom, but these are small offices with small budgets. Most everyone else remains mired in very old thinking on evaluation.
At least from an incrementalist perspective, entrenching and building on these aspects of USAID Forward would be a major accomplishment for Shah's successor. Whoever comes next will not simply run out the clock of the Obama Administration – there are two years left. I therefore expect the administration to appoint an administrator (rather than promote a career USAID staff caretaker with no political mandate) to the position. In a perfect world, this would be a person who understands development as a discipline, but also has the government and implementing experience to understand how development thought intersects with development practice in the real world. Someone with a real understanding of development and humanitarian assistance as a body of thought and practice with a long history that can be learned from and built upon would be able to parse the critical parts of USAID Forward from the fluff, could prevent the design and implementation of projects that merely repeat the efforts (and often failures) of decades ago, and could perhaps reverse the disturbing trend at USAID to view development challenges as technical challenges akin to those informed by X-Prizes – a trend that has shoved the social aspects of development to the back seat at the Agency. At the same time, someone with implementing and government experience would understand what is possible within the current structure, thus understanding where incremental victories might push the Agency in important and productive directions that move toward the achievement of more ideal, long-term goals
There are very, very few people out there who meet these criteria. Steve Radelet does, and he served as the Chief Economist at USAID while I was there, but I have no idea if he is interested or, more importantly, if anyone is interested in him. Much the pity if not. More likely, the administration is going to go with the relatively new Deputy Administrator Alfonso Lenhardt. Looking at his background, he's already been vetted by the Senate for his current position, has foreign service experience, time in various implementer-oriented positions, and he is well-positioned to avoid a long confirmation process as a former lobbyist and from his time as House Sergeant-at-Arms, which likely give him deep networks on both sides of the aisle. In his background, I see no evidence of a long engagement with development as a discipline, and I wonder how reform-minded a former Senior Vice President for Government Relations at an implementer can be. I do not know Deputy Administrator Lenhardt at all, and so I cannot speak to where he might fall on any or all of the issues above. According to Devex, he says his goal is to "improve management processes and institutionalize the reforms and initiatives that Shah's administration has put in place." I have no objection to either of these goals – they are both important. But what this means in practice, should Lenhardt be promoted, is an open question that will have great impact on the future direction of the Agency.

Twitter has honored five requests made by a Pakistani bureaucrat working for the country's Telecommunications Authority to censor tweets and accounts it considered "blasphemous" and "unethical."
According to the New York Times, the social network agreed to shield certain tweets from the eyes of Pakistani Twitter users at the request of Abdul Batin. The requests including censoring crude drawings of the Prophet Muhammad, photographs of burning Qurans, and tweets from anti-Islam bloggers and an American porn star.
This is apparently the first time Twitter has agreed to block specific content in Pakistan since it introduced its country-specific censorship policy in 2012. The policy takes into accounts local laws that apply to tweets and will consider reactively withholding access to certain content if they receive "valid and properly scoped" requests from authorized entities. Despite this, the NYT claims that a number of accounts were blocked not reactively, but in anticipation of the annual "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day," which falls on May 20.
The first time Twitter's censorship policy was enforced was in Germany in 2012 when it banned a neo-Nazi party—which are not allowed under German law—from the social network. Since then the policy has come into effect in several countries, although Twitter aims to remain as transparent as possible using several mechanisms, including partnering with Chilling Effects to publish notifications of when it withholds content, as well requests to withhold it.
Pakistan's oppressive blasphemy laws have been enforced in an increasingly brutal manner recently, resulting in arrests, murders, and assassination attempts, which is why it makes it particularly concerning that Twitter is complying with them. Twitter's defense is that it would rather prevent a small amount of content that contravenes local laws than have the whole site blocked, denying a country the ability to use the platform at all.
This is what caused the social network to bow to pressure from the Turkish government last month. In the face of an outright ban, Twitter agreed to close several accounts the government had deemed harmful.
Several rights groups have questioned the legitimacy of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, as well as Twitter's decision to acquiesce to its requests. Wired.co.uk has put these concerns to Twitter and will update this article if we hear back.

Encouraging adversaries to have more interpersonal contact to find common ground may work on occasion, but not necessarily in the U.S. Senate, according to new research.
For years social scientists have grappled with the question of why men receive far more media coverage than women, and now a new study reveals the answer.
The traditional pressure in academia for faculty to "publish or perish" advances knowledge in established areas. But it also might discourage scientists from asking the innovative questions that are most likely to lead to the biggest breakthroughs, according to a new study spearheaded by a UCLA professor.
In an era where popular culture is increasingly recognized for its impact on lay understanding of health and medicine, few scholars have looked at television's powerful role in the creation of patient expectations, especially regarding pregnancy and birth.
We elaborate a cultural framing theory of legal cynicism—previously used to account for neighborhood variation in Chicago homicides—to explain Arab Sunni victimization and insurgent attacks during the U.S. post-invasion occupation of Iraq. Legal cynicism theory has an unrecognized power to explain collective and interpersonal violence in international as well as U.S. settings. We expand on how "double and linked" roles of state and non-state actors can be used to analyze violence against Arab Sunni civilians.
Since the 1980s, leading U.S. firms have announced massive downsizing plans in the name of maximizing shareholder value, but some observers are skeptical about how serious firms are in implementing these plans. Building on political theories of corporate governance, I examine how conflicts of interest and alignment among investors, workers, and top managers affect the implementation of announced downsizing plans.
Conventional research in organizational theory highlights the role of board interlocks in facilitating business collective action. In this article, I propose that business collective action affects the evolutionary path of interlock networks. In particular, large market players' response after a collective action to the classic problem of the "exploitation" of the great by the small provides a mechanism for interlocks to evolve.
Community reactions against organizations can be driven by negative information spread through a diffusion process that is distinct from the diffusion of organizational practices. Bank panics offer a classic example of selective diffusion of negative information. Bank panics involve widespread bank runs, although a low proportion of banks experience a run. We develop theory on how organizational similarity, community similarity, and network proximity create selective diffusion paths for resistance against organizations.
In the early twenty-first century, women continue to receive substantially less media coverage than men, despite women's much increased participation in public life. Media scholars argue that actors in news organizations skew news coverage in favor of men and male-related topics. However, no previous study has systematically examined whether such media bias exists beyond gender ratio imbalances in coverage that merely mirror societal-level structural and occupational gender inequalities.
How do national institutional contexts mediate the global? This article aims to answer this question by analyzing screen translation—the translation of audiovisual materials like movies and television programs—in four European countries: France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland. A cross-national, multi-method research project combining interviews, ethnography, and a small survey found considerable cross-national differences in translation norms and practices, sometimes leading to very different translated versions of the same product.

Ky eshte libri i shkruajtur nga 'babai i antropologjise' moderne, Carleton S. Coon
Ne kete liber mund te gjeni informacione mjaft te vlefshme historike dhe antropologjike per shqiptaret, sidomos per geget.
Ai eshte nje njohes i shkelqyer i races sone, dhe nje mbrojtes i saj ne boten shkencore. Shijojeni.
"Moreover, you scorned our people, and compared the Albanese to sheep, and according to your custom think of us with insults. Nor have you shown yourself to have any knowledge of my race. Our elders were Epirotes, where this Pirro came from, whose force could scarcely support the Romans. This Pirro, who Taranto and many other places of Italy held back with armies. I do not have to speak for the Epiroti. They are very much stronger men than your Tarantini, a species of wet men who are born only to fish. If you want to say that Albania is part of Macedonia I would concede that a lot more of our ancestors were nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great and defeated all those peoples with incredible difficulty. From those men come these who you called sheep. But the nature of things is not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?"
Letter from Skanderbeg to the Prince of Taranto ▬ Skanderbeg, October 31 1460

Minnowboard:SPI Boot flash
the MinnowBoard uses a SPI based serial flash memory to load the initial code into the Intel Atom E640 series processor. The MinnowBoard uses a WinBond W25Q32 (datasheet) which has a total of 4096KB of storage which can be flashed with a UEFI image or other custom firmware.
Programming Interface
the MinnowBoard has a 2x4 header that has 0.1" spacing for programming the SPI based serial flash memory.
|Pin number
|Main Function
|+3.3V Power

Applications and Hardware
- Flashrom is an open source utility that allows you to work with the SPI based serial flash memory on the MinnowBoard.
- Flashrom supports a wide range of flash devices (Supported Hardware) including the WinBond W25Q32.
- Flashrom can automatically detect the presence of the WinBond W25Q32 and provide full read/erase/write functionality.
- Flashrom can use the many open as well as proprietary hardware tools such as
- DLP-2232H from DLPDesign
- FTDI FT2232H generic breakout boards

- Bus Pirate from Dangerous Prototypes
- SF100 from DediProg
- SPIDev userspace interface for the Linux Kernel
Updating MinnowBoard Firmware
In this section we will discuss how to update the default firmware on your MinnowBoard which is UEFI. You will also need a USB flash drive formatted in FAT32 format with a minimum of 8MB of free space for this guide.
1. Fire up your browser and go to the Intel MinnowBoard UEFI Firmware site.
2. Next click on the 'Download' button.
3. You will then have to accept the MinnowBoard End User License Agreement.
4. Then download the appropriate firmware version. At the time of writing this guide, the latest firmware versions available were 0.93 and 0.94.
5. Extract the zip file that you just downloaded. From that copy the two files: FirmwareUpdate.efi, MINNOW.fd to your USB flash drive.
6. Now, remove the microSD card from your MinnowBoard. Then connect the flash drive to the USB port on the MinnowBoard. Depending upon your operating system, configure accordingly to get access to MinnowBoard's serial console as documented here. Then, power it ON. You should see the UEFI Interactive Shell. As you can see from the figure below that the firmware version on my MinnowBoard is 0.90 and I will update it now to 0.94.
7. Now navigate to the USB storage by typing FSx(usually it is FS0) in the terminal. Here 'x' is replaced by the number from the file system mapping table. The command is case-insensitive.
8. Now run the command below in your terminal to update the firmware.
FirmwareUpdate -f <firmware image>
In our case, the firmware image is "MINNOW.fd". So, the command will become:
FirmwareUpdate -f MINNOW.fd
9. Once the firmware resets the board, you should see the new firmware version in the UEFI Interactive shell
